SMALL party???

Been so busy lately with planning Sammy's small party. I originally planned it to be just the kiddos, with some food at the park and since there's a playground I really don't need to get a bounce house (especially after seeing the price on those.. its double the price when they set it up in a park instead of your backyard!). Then I started inviting people.. I didn't realize we had that much friends with kids, life is changing!. That's when it all changed! I realized the playground may not be enough entertainment for 20+ kids, the bounce house was still not an option. So we decided to hire a face painter and a balloon twister. Sounds perfect right?! More mellow and calm...(yeah right!) So that is done. Next was figuring out what theme we are doing. Originally, I was just gonna go with pink and orange.... more casual and easy. But Sammy's been into Dr.Suess lately and since it's his birthday month...wait for it..... I decided to make it a Dr.Suess party! Bright idea right?  YES! That's until I realized I just put myself in a lot of work for the next few weeks. This is a problem. See, when I start with an idea, it just doesn't stop there. I tend to get more creative by the minute until it takes over me. This week,  I've made photo booth props, star garlands, wrapping spoons and forks with colored napkins and more. I've got tons of stuff I want to make for the party but I don't have the time and/or the money to make all of it! It's just too crazy. I need to take a breather. I have to stop thinking and dreaming about the party. It won't be as grand as my imagination but it will be really special. I can't believe my baby is turning 5. She is so excited about it, she thinks she can do everything when she turns 5. So adorable. I cannot wait to hang out with friends too. With this busy life it seems like we are always in a rush in everything we do. So hopefully, this party will give us time to relax and enjoy each others company while the kiddos are playing.
